Extractions: * Job openings arising from rapid employment growth and job turnover, coupled with a declining number of graduates from special education teaching programs, mean excellent job prospects; many school districts report shortages of qualified teachers. Special education teachers work with children and youth who have a variety of disabilities. Most special education teachers instruct students at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level, although some teachers work with infants and toddlers. Special education teachers design and modify instruction to meet a student's special needs. Teachers also work with students who have other special instructional needs, including those who are gifted and talented. The various types of disabilities delineated in Government special education programs include specific learning disabilities, mental retardation, speech or language impairment, serious emotional disturbance, visual and hearing impairment, orthopedic impairment, autism, traumatic brain injury, and multiple disabilities. Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups.

Extractions: Special Education Teacher PDF brochure Delivering on the Promise Being a special educator is an opportunity to have a positive, lasting impact on the lives of children and youth with special needs. Special Education is specially designed instruction, that often incorporates related services, to meet the educational, social, emotional, and vocational needs of students with disabilities. Who are Special Education students? Students with disabilities who receive special education instruction and related services vary greatly in their needs. Like all children, they differ from one another in ability, age, learning style, and personality. Students with disabilities come from all cultural backgrounds and may even speak languages other than English. They all have unique learning needs based on their disabilities that require a number of special education and related services, such as specially designed instruction, adapted materials, speech-language therapy, and adaptive physical education. Some students with disabilities have cognitive impairments, such as mental retardation, which can range from mild to profound. Others have specific learning disabilities that require specific teaching strategies, including accommodations and modifications to the general education curriculum. Still other students have physical disabilities that require the use of wheelchairs or other Assistive devices. Some students' impairments are sensory, such as hearing loss and vision impairments. Others have emotional conditions. In Addition, Chronic health problems and multiple disabilities can complicate learning for some.

Extractions: June 2001 The Bright Futures Report In 1998, CEC appointed a Presidential Commission on the Conditions of Special Education Teaching and Learning. Its charge was twofold: Because children with exceptionalities are taught in a variety of settings by a variety of educational personnel, stakeholders for this study included both general and special educators. A pilot web survey was posted, focus groups were held across the country, a major literature review was completed, and a national survey was conducted to identify current conditions. Variables that Affect a Teacher's Ability to Succeed Several themes that influence the conditions of teaching were identified. A sense of collegiality and professionalism, an environment of open and frequent communication, a climate of support, the availability of resources, and a clarity of roles and responsibilities all contribute to a sense of satisfaction for a job well done.

One of the most intense debates in understanding the development of the human mind is whether cognitive ability is based in genetics or developed through learning experiences. While biology clearly plays a part, recent neuroscience research shows that the interactions experienced during infancy and childhood can actually change the physical structure and wiring of the brain. Does this mean many children with developmental and learning disorders, such as autism, PDD, language and speech problems, ADD, Down syndrome and otherscan make greater progress than previously thought? This pioneering work strongly supports this prospect.

He has lived in Recife for 11 years and teaches in Cultura Inglesa Since the re-issue of guidelines from the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) for candidates with Special Needs, several teachers have asked me for information on adapting ELT classroom materials for these purposes. I have discovered that little is known locally and as I extended my researches through the Web, I was surprised to find that information specific to ELT hardly exists, or is common knowledge, even among highly experienced members of our profession. This article therefore aims to provide starting points for teachers, trainers and schools who have no experience in Special Education but would like to become involved. Existing sources are largely for children to about the age of puberty, and mostly on general education matters. For many in ELT, I suspect the adaptation of materials and techniques for groups aged from the mid-teens upwards will be more familiar pedagogic territory. Nevertheless let me note two splendid non-ELT sites for children:

Persons who lack one or more senses or whose senses are reduced in some way or the other (e.g. sight, hearing, motor skills or language) receive instruction and support adapted to their needs, in order to compensate this loss.

Pupils with severe reading difficulties are often left behind after school start, i.e. in the 3rd or 4th grade. Severe reading difficulties often hinder the comprehension of a text. Math texts are difficult to read as well, and on top of that, English lessons are introduced at this level.

Extractions: in a Special Education Setting by Elda E. Martinez, Core Knowledge Consultant C unable to learn, but rather, have a learning difference . The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), as amended in 1997, identifies a learning disability as a significant discrepancy between potential and current performance . The "learning disability" label should not be used to indicate an inability to learn, but rather to illustrate the importance of finding alternative teaching methods that will assist a child who learns differently. Traditional teaching methods often frustrate students with special learning needs, thereby reducing their motivation and desire to learn new topics and skills. While Core Knowledge cannot eliminate learning differences, it can provoke student interest and provide a focus for learning. The majority of students with learning differences spend most of their day in a general education classroom and receive either "inclusion" or "resource" support from special education support staff. Inclusion settings typically provide modifications for grade-level instructional standards. When the student's needs are more severe and require alternative instruction, a resource setting may be chosen. It is in this setting that teachers often struggle to find ways of implementing Core Knowledge. Instruction is often fragmented due to subject-block scheduling, and since special education teachers generally work with all grade levels, there is rarely enough time to collaborate with all classroom teachers. Nevertheless, it is possible to integrate Core Knowledge and skill-based instruction so as to facilitate the learning process.

http://education.cortland.edu/teach/papers/vaspecialneeds.html

Extractions: Virginia teachers face many challenges when trying to meet the needs of special needs students in their science classrooms. The most difficult task at hand for Virginia teachers is making sure that all students (general education and special education) learn the content outlined by the Virginia Standards of Learning. These standards "set reasonable targets and expectations for what teachers need to teach and students need to learn" (Virginia Standards of Learning, 1995, foreward). These targets and expectations are in the four core subjects, including science, however, no accommodations have been made in the SOLs for special needs students. All students, regardless of ability will need to know the same material in order to pass and graduate. Methods of evaluation are also a concern and challenge for educators of special needs students today. Finson & Ormsbee (1998) argue that, "rubrics are effective methods for objectively and individually assessing the achievement of students with learning and behavior problems in inclusive science classrooms…." Rubrics are especially useful because they are written as a specific outline of the skills or knowledge that the students are to master after the lesson and points are awarded in a systematic and objective manner. Another interview question that our collaborative teaching team inquired about is if special needs children have a tougher time with science and its concepts and/or if they seem to enjoy it more than other subjects. Anne commented that her special needs students have difficulty with science and its concepts, but they enjoy the hands-on activities incorporated into science lessons. Charles was in agreement and said that students tend to enjoy activity-based science more than lecture formats. Science seems to be one of the more enjoyable subjects for special needs students because of its hands-on nature.

http://www.cec.sped.org/spotlight/cond/bf_overview.html

Extractions: CEC, long known for its successful advocacy for children with exceptionalities, is striking out in a bold new direction - to improve working conditions of special education teachers. CEC knows that it is impossible for special education teachers to perform the work they want to do - to help children with exceptionalities succeed educationally - when they are placed in untenable working conditions. In the current educational climate, special education teachers often feel unsupported, unprepared, overwhelmed, and disempowered. Too often they are asked to teach in situations that make them ineffective. One of the major difficulties special education teachers face is unmanageable caseloads. For the past decade, class size has been a concern for general education classrooms. However, class size in special education has received little attention. While most states have some caseload requirements, currently no national standard exists for limits on a professional's caseload. For example, in North Carolina there is no maximum class size for a speech and language clinician, and teachers of specific learning disabilities at the middle/secondary level may have 35 resource pupils a day or 10 in a class. Furthermore, in many states/provinces, maximum class size may not reflect caseload. Teachers may have ongoing responsibilities for students in general education classrooms and supervise support personnel.

Extractions: DEVELOPMENTAL ARTICLES PREPARATION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS: PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE TRENDS Vijayalakshmi Myreddi* and Jayanthi Narayan ABSTRACT Educating children with special needs who may not benefit from regular school education calls for changes in curricula, classroom arrangements, provision of aids and appliances, additional finances and appropriate teacher preparation. Preparation of special teachers in India has many problems which need to be addressed. This paper critically analyses the process of preparation of teachers of children with special needs in India, and makes suggestions to improve this process. A survey on the situation of educational provision for children with special needs by UNESCO (2) illustrates the types of programmes offered in different parts of the world. The analysis of information from 63 countries that responded to the survey shows that special day schools, special classes in regular schools and residential schools, in that order, provide special education. Early childhood special education programmes, being of recent origin, are provided by only one fourth of the countries surveyed. Integrated and inclusive education are emerging trends practised in very few countries, in the form of support teaching in regular classes and establishment of resource room facilities. Most countries do not have a separate vocational education programme. However, in another UNESCO report, it is seen that about 11 countries have separate vocational training institutes and 6 have them as part of the upper secondary or secondary schools (3).
